You beat me to it. I was thinking the very same thing.

Congratulations Rosemary, and best of luck to Rita. This getting exciting. I haven't written my 100 words and I'd better get to it before I forget absolutely everything about making the quilt.

Terry, I am wishing you well. Hope your feeling well enough to natter with us soon again!

The fridge it is full
With bars big and small
For DH he knows what I want
White chocolate and milk
Smooth as dupione silk
This is how I can be nonchalant

And though big foot may try
He will ne're pass him by
For he stands there from morning 'til lunar
To make sure that this quilt
And it's maker don't wilt
And it's flying to Wendy much sooner

Okay, I think I am hysterical with tiredness now so I am going to bed....don't try to stop me!

Maureen, QAYG is my new best friend. I have two very large quilts to quilt in the usual manner but after that I think I will be doing everything else QAYG because it is the easiest on my arms and wrists which is where I really feel it with the large quilts on a domestic machine. I am interested to know why the flax/cotton blend did not sell? Is it less soft? And is the soya blend as soft as the bamboo? Here we usually have a choice of either cotton or wool when available. I love the wool best of all but it is slightly harder to quilt because it has more loft.

The flax/cotton blend is not as soft as the bamboo and a bit thicker plus it is a lot more expensive than the others so that is probably the main reason it hasn't sold very well. Yes, the soy was as soft as the bamboo. It felt really cuddly and you just wanted to stroke it all the time. Nobody, so far, has asked for the wool

Must feel really good to have passed the con over to the good captain Rita who is about to get haze gray and underway pretty soon. Wishing you fair winds and following seas, Rita! And now, go have fun, Rosemary!!!

Congratulations, Rosemary! Quite a relief, huh?

I love bamboo batting, too, but have the same problem with fluff. I try to get the borders quilted and the binding put on as soon as possible when using bamboo. I don't know if it's the fiber or how the batting is processed. I have the same problem with Quilter's Dream cotton batting, but not with other cotton battings. That's why I wonder if it's the processing rather than the fiber itself.
